Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Apr 17
2.5/4
Although it tags a few familiar bases — an unreliable main character who’s overmedicating, a less than bereaved husband — it’s always engrossing even when the actions of the characters get more and more infuriating. Go to Full Review

While the limited series isn't perfect, it still gives you a solid half-day binge with a few chilling moments and mild entertainment. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Apr 17
The first episode of The Glass Dome was too predictable, giving us a bad feeling that the rest of the limited series will be, as well. Go to Full Review
Samuel R. Murrian Collider Apr 16
8/10
This enterprise certainly gets the job done as a whodunit, but it's more tantalizing as a character study; it's at its most gripping when we're in Lejla's head. Go to Full Review

3/5
The Glass Dome isn't much different from the other crime-thriller that Netflix churns out but is still memorable in a way. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Several aspects of the plot are left unexamined and characters sometimes act contradictory to what’s been established, but the storytelling effectively misdirects and twists leading to a satisfyingly dark conclusion. Go to Full Review

Bob S Nov 19 You'll be disappointed if you listen to the critic score. The solution is a washout. It makes no sense from a practical perspective; it makes little sense psychologically. The director / screenwriter wanted to make a point that psychopaths act normal. But they still have to obey the rules of space and time, and what they can and can't do in a 24 hour period. And if this criminal profiler needs to be replaced by someone who knows what they're doing. What is a shame is that the first 90% of the series is done well, with some good red herrings, and some perfectly satisfactory acting from most of the cast. But it's such a disappointing waste of time when a mystery does not have a believable conclusion. There is much better serial crime stuff out there, if that's your thing.

See more Katie L Oct 10 Good drama, good acting & twists in the story line kept the series interesting....until the final episode... Such a shame the ending was so disappointing! See more Sheila D Sep 29 I liked this series, but found it to be really slow moving. Some said the ending was a shocker but I disagree. I saw it coming. I would have liked to know the background of the brothers, a bit more. It would have tied in well with the profiling narrative. See more Laura V Jul 22 I honestly did NOT see that ending coming, i thought of almost every other possible endings but the one they chose. It is somewhat similar to other dark drama/mystery series on netflix, it isn't a totally new experiense but i feel like they excecuted the whole series so nicely! I liked the acting and the whole interity of the series very much😄 I also liked how it misleads you to think that you know excactly whats going on, when actually the reality is so different. See more Phil & Mel C @coleslatimer Jul 9 I was gripped from the start, the acting was great, and the show kept me hooked throughout. It was tight and didn't drag on. All that said, I like a good ending and I had to knock off two stars as the ending felt entirely unbelievable and unpredictable in terms of character building. I can't say much without spoilers, so I'll just say that having seen a lot of crime dramas, I didn’t think they wrote the perp very well to make sense in the end without more flashbacks and explanation. Maybe I'm being overly critical though, as I did enjoy it aside from that - I still think it's worth the watch. See more Read all reviews
